How to feel at home at the other end of the world
We were in touch with Biwakwango many months before our trip, considering different routes. The response and advice from Biwakwango was always swift and helpful, and being able to communicate in French was much appreciated. Thierry went a long way to accomodate very specific demands and alternatives we requested. The trip itself was fantastic and exceeded our expectations - our stay in the Klaserie reserve was unforgettable, sharing the local ranger's intimate knowledge of the bush. So were the close encounters with wildlife driving through Kruger in Biwakwango's safari vehicle. Staying in a village in Swaziland also gave us a sample of what rural life is really like. Our three days in Drakensberg were just as enjoyable, sufficiently challenging for those of us who hiked, and interesting visits for those who didn't. All eight of us are completely delighted with this trip of a lifetime.

unforgettable
What I appreciated particularly at Thierry's, it is the empathy and its availability for every participant. He knew how to make us share his values of respect of South African, of his love of the flora and fauna. I can say that he has me marked deeply :-))) and that I shall remember all my life of these two weeks when the emotion, the listening, in brief all our senses were put constantly on the alert
really unforgettable
good wind my dear Thierry!

two weeks in Kruger National Park
Hello,
We had a specify idea of what we wanted to do: cross from north to south the Kruger National Park. And this with a budget does not allow us to attend luxurious logdes and private concessions. Thierry from Biwakwango has designed an auto-tour through most states camps, although with a private reserve for the first and last days. Everything worked well thanks to vouchers: aircraft, car, lodges. A daily road book contained all the necessary information. In brief, two weeks of safaris in the bush every day. Oh happiness.

Thierry from Biwakwango organised our 5 star honeymoon in Botswana and Zambia, simply brilliant !
We contacted Thierry from Biwakwango in August 2013, explaining him that we wanted to go to Africa for our honeymoon. Thierry very quickly picked up our interests and what we were looking to experience, and came up with a proposal which matched all our requirements, as we wanted to mix top-class safaris, adventure and luxury.
Not only was he very quickly available to discuss the details with us (despite the fact that he's often on the road, or in the bush), but we also appreciated his relaxed and friendly approach, and our discussions on sustainable development and ecology, issues that are very important to us. By the way, he did not hesitate to recommend us not to go for certain experiences we had thought of, as they would have disappointed us from a conservation/ecology point of view, which we very much appreciated.
During our trip, everything was flawless and we did not have to worry about the organisation (park fees, plane transfers, road transfers, ...). Besides, Thierry informed us of many important issues such as vaccines, visas, and was very helpful and knowledgeable on everything that you should be aware of before going on such a trip, which prevented bad experiences!
To sum up, we are very thankful to Thierry for having organised such a memorable and oustanding trip in Botswana and Zambia, probably one of, if not the best trip we have ever experienced. We are always very demanding when we travel, and are much involded in the preparation of our trips. Thierry definitely did a great work with us and no doubt that we will contact him again for our next journeys to Africa. Thank you!

Good morning South Africa again
Thanks to Biwakwango and Thierry. We have discovered a fabulous country. We had the opportunity to meet locals people, each with his own history and traditions. Most of the time walking we appreciated a wonderful nature, animals as well as plants. Biwakwango and Thierry make feel like returning to South Africa some day.

Fantastic trekking in pure nature
Our trip was not an as usual safari tour, but a fantastic 14-days trekking through different landscapes in South-African mountains and Lesotho. Everything was perfectly organised : transport, food, various accomodations, walk-itinerary and meetings with local population. With sympathy and sense of humour as a bonus!
Thank you Thierry & Biwakwango !
An exceptionnal trip
We had a very nice trip in South Africa, thanks to our guide who did a wonderful job preparing our journey through South Africa.I enjoyed Tsitsikamma Park, and the time we spent walking in the bush.
All the restaurants we went to were deliciously chosen, guesthouses were just perfect.
Biwakwango has a very well studied team: Thierry, our precious guide, Garret our kind driver and Cardy the Masterchief of our meals in the bush. Everything was over our expectations and I truly recommand this company if you want to spend a wonderful time discovering South Africa.

An unforgettable journey!!!
I organized a journey / birthday / surprise in South Africa for 40 years of my husband with Biwakwango. The circuit was very sensible coach on 8 days, we visited the region of the Cape (with the big white / shivers), region of wines, then towards Durban a charming small reserve, and finally a magic lodge at the edge of the Ocean, far from everything, a jewel (meeting with a tortoise luth/émotion).
The choice of ghests house, the circuit... Everything was completed. I shall return to South Africa: it is certain, and undoubtedly with Biwakwango. Thank you Thierry!
